Wenzhou Leather Traders: "Success And Crisis"

Whoever goes to big cities like Beijing and Shanghai will feel the rapid development of China's economy, but if we want to understand the real rapid development of China, an indispensable city is Wenzhou.

After the reform and opening up, Wenzhou adopted a unique mode of development and rapid economic development.

Wenzhou mainly produces light industrial products with villages as production units. This way enables Wenzhou to achieve economies of scale in the production of labor-intensive light industrial products.

In recent years, Wenzhou has become the world's largest production base for footwear, clothing, leather and other light industrial products. China even put forward the slogan of "learning from Wenzhou".

Because of its narrow land and large population, Wenzhou people began to migrate to the whole country from an early stage. In the future, they became the link to build the circulation network of Wenzhou light industrial products.

Wenzhou businessmen are also actively expanding overseas.

The Chinese businessmen who have recently entered the US and Europe have shifted from the former Guangdong and the Fujian to the Zhejiang people represented by Wenzhou.

Wenzhou businessmen also played an important role in the process of Chinese enterprises' march into the DPRK.

At present, North Korea's light industrial products are seriously lacking. The competitiveness of Wenzhou's light industrial products has become an important foundation for entering the Korean market.

Recently, however, it has been pointed out that the Wenzhou model needs new changes, as there are many competing areas that can produce light industrial products at a much lower price.

Rural labor is easy to find jobs, and some coastal areas also have a shortage of rural labor force, which will directly lead to the increase of production costs of Wenzhou enterprises.

If Wenzhou enterprises can not reduce production costs and improve product quality in the future, Wenzhou can only become a successful example in people's memory.
